All of the queen's children and grandsons traveled to Balmoral to be with her after she was placed under medical supervision because of her health concerns.
One of the queen's last royal engagements was a Tuesday meeting with new British Prime Minister Liz Truss, but she didn't have to travel because she was in Scotland.

According to a poll, a whopping 31% of the British public have seen or met the queen.

Elizabeth was part of the British royal family on her father's side and part of the Scottish aristocracy on her mother's side. King George V was on the throne when Elizabeth was born and she was third in the line of succession. The queen originally called herself a child when she couldn't say "Elizabeth" She and Princess Margaret were close until Margaret died in 2002. In 1947, Elizabeth married her third cousin Prince Philip, eight years after the two connected in 1939 when Elizabeth was a teenager. The queen has four children and 12 great-grandchildren. Her second grandchild was named after the queen. Philip and Elizabeth were married for 73 years before Philip died in April 2021. The queen had health problems over the last year. She was hospitalized overnight in October for "preliminary investigations" that the palace did not elaborate on, and she canceled most of her engagements over the next month after doctors told her to rest. One of the royal family's most important appearances of the year, but she was unable to attend due to injury, was announced by Buckingham Palace. She got married at Windsor Castle three days later. The queen tested positive for Covid-19 in February and while the palace did not specify how she was infections, she had recently met with her son, Prince Charles.
Charles became King Charles III after his mother died. Clarence House denied that Charles had considered changing his name. There is a lot of baggage associated with the name Charles. The country was forced to contend with both the Great Plague of London and the Great Fire of London after King Charles I was executed for treason. Charles Edward Stuart was a pretender to the throne who was called King Charles III by his supporters.
